The Listowel Arms Hotel Hotel History

A plaque on the wall hints only briefly
at the eventful history of the Listowel Arms. Yes, the Liberator himself, Daniel O'Connell,
was here.
(931)

In a tranquil corner of Listowel’s old square, there is a haven of comfort and hospitality, an establishment with a proud tradition of fine food and quality service; a quiet retreat; a warm and intimate meeting place. Yes, it was also here that another
political giant Charles Stewart Parnell, coined his
most famous exhortation:"Let no man set a
boundary to the march of a nation!". But these are just instances
of the many great names and the
countless encounters that these rooms have
witnessed over two centuries. The sense of tradition is palpable. The tradition of service is also rich. As long ago as 1842 the Victorian writer
W.M.Thackeray recommended the place. Another commentator, Richard Colt-Hoare,
in 1865, described the Arms as
'one of the best in Ireland'.

Our heartfelt congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs O’ Sullivan who married in St Mary’s church Listowel recently. We were honoured to host Siobhan and Chris’s wedding reception afterwards at the Listowel Arms hotel. Beautiful atmosphere at this wedding celebrating love, from the fantastic speeches to the well wishes from guests. Wishing you both long life and happiness together. ❤️

Thank you John Kelliher for the wonderful photos and Betty Mc Grath's Florist for the stunning florals and Sherly for the beautiful wedding cake.

We wish to extend our congratulations to the Mulvihill family on a tremendous win at Listowel Race week with their horse Glin Road Boy!

It’s particularly poignant here as the late Bernard O’Callaghan who purchased and extended the Listowel Arms hotel in 1996, exactly 30 years ago, is from the Glin Road, Moyvane and his wife Josie is related to the Mulvihills. ❤️

Wishing Paddy and family continued success.
